Ideally the discussion of this thread should remain specifically on the topic of the Mayan (and I suppose "the Bible code" too) prediction of end of the world.

I disagree. Ideally, we may turn this into something more worthwhile than a discussion about predictions without any evidence that bears no more meaning than my prediction that Deicide's next album is going to suck.

Nevermind that it is stated in the code of conduct to stay on topic...

Well, yeah, actually the ideal situation would be the thread getting locked.

Stop posting in it if you hate it so damn much. That's like Hillary Clinton bitching about Manhunt 2. If you don't like the damn game, don't play it bitch.

Why this exact date? So on December 20, 2012, everything will be normal as it is, then the next day, everything will be destroyed? I highly doubt that. If the world is going to be destroyed on that exact date, then it must be a process of several things leading up to that date.

Besides, someone said that the world won't be renewed this time. What happened the last times?

It's a red Indian prophecy. The world has been renewed 9 times and this one will be the last. I remember watching that on the History Channel.

Hmm, okay. What happened the last 9 times it was renewed?

I can't exactly remember. I believe some one posted that documentary in youtube. I'll post it here when i find it.
